I have two XP Home PC and printer shared by using
router.Printer is connect to router. It works ok until i
added new PC. I added the new PC (XP home) and that new
one cannot use the printer at all. I tried to attach
printer to one of the PC and share the printer but i
didn't work. I works only for the PC that attached to the
printer. Please give any solutions for me?

Thank you
Lyn

Did you install the printer on your other machine(s)? Even though it's
attached to one XP machine it needs to be "installed" on the other
machines.

1. open "Control Panel"
2. open "Printers and Faxes"
3. open "Add a printer"
4. Run the wizard to install your networked printer.

This process needs to happen on all networked machines that you want to
access the printer.
